Escape after crossing

Although there are still many refugees outside Fancheng, they said that some of them have already taken detours to other cities.

The reason they didn't leave was, firstly, they didn't have much food left, and secondly, they really couldn't move and were left behind by the others.

In their hearts, they actually hoped that the adults above them would take pity on them and give them some food.

After hearing the news, Village Chief Zheng called everyone together again to discuss whether to leave or stay.

When some villagers saw so many people outside the city, they also wanted to stay. They also wondered if they could wait for those adults, wealthy businessmen, rich people or powerful people to be merciful and give them some things.

Village Chief Zheng wanted to take advantage of the fact that they had food and everyone was still on the road to go somewhere else. This place was too close to their hometown.

It’s not that he doesn’t like his hometown. If there hadn’t been this drought, he would still be willing to live in his hometown.

Even though it was close to the northern border, he was reluctant to leave. Now that he had left, he wanted to take his family and the people behind him to a better place.

The village chief told everyone his thoughts and opinions. Some people thought that the village chief was right and had a good idea, while others thought that it was better to stay closer to home.

So Village Chief Zheng asked everyone to rest here for a day. If anyone wanted to continue walking tomorrow morning, they could go together, and those who wanted to stay could stay.

Just don't complain in the future. But just as they finished speaking, they saw a group of soldiers coming out of the city.

Holding spears or sabers, they drove people out of the city. They did not allow them to stay outside the city, and told them to either return to their original location or go somewhere else.

After the person who inquired for the news came back, everyone no longer hesitated, packed up their things, and prepared to take a detour to another place.

But there were constant cries and calls for help. Seeing this, Jiang Ziluo was filled with resentment, whether it was her duty as a soldier or a doctor.

But she was powerless and silently cursed the officials' inaction and the cold-bloodedness and cruelty of those in power.

Jiang Ziluo swore in her heart that if possible, she would never want to have anything to do with those powerful people or the royal family.

"Lolo, Lolo, let's go." Jiang Ziyan pulled Jiang Ziluo and followed everyone.

Jiang Ziluo entered the space two days ago and checked the map on the computer. She originally just wanted to give it a try, but she didn't expect to be able to find the map and route of this period.

Because time did not permit, she did not look carefully. She only remembered that it would take three days to pass through the middle of the bustling city and reach the next city.

Of course it would take time to get there by carriage. If they were to walk, it would probably take five or six days. Now they need to take a detour, so the time is even more uncertain.

As for the detour route, Jiang Yangluo did not have time to look at it. Now the village chief had to let Guess the Householder lead everyone.

The village chief had originally planned not to stay in Fancheng for long, so he had just asked his eldest son to ask nearby refugees for news.

After asking around for help, I found out that many people went around the mountain to the west of Fancheng. But the person didn't know how to get there.

When the village chief heard his eldest son say this, he thought that since someone had gone around the mountain, there should have been traces left behind.

So I went to the hunter in the village and told him what happened. The hunter thought about it and agreed to lead the way.

The mountain is not very high, and may have been walked on by people, so you can still see that there is a path to walk on. But it is a bit difficult to walk on with a cart or ox cart.

So the team moved a little slowly. As they were only one villager, they didn't have to walk too far before they had to find a large open space or flat ground that could accommodate so many people.

I wasn’t always so lucky and could not always find a suitable place. Finally, the village chief let three or four families stay in one place together.

Each place is not too far away from each other. We take turns to keep watch at night and shout if anything happens.

Jiang Ziluo felt very insecure in such an unfamiliar environment. After settling down, Jiang Ziluo asked Jiang Hongyu to go with her with a machete.

Everyone in the family thought they were going to chop wood, so they didn't say anything. But Doctor Hu didn't think so, so he found an excuse and went with them.

Jiang Ziluo did not stop Doctor Hu. Everyone would know about it later anyway.

"Lolo, we can just pick up some firewood, why do we need a machete?" Jiang Hongyu asked in confusion.

Doctor Hu also wanted to know, so he pricked up his ears to listen to Jiang Ziluo's explanation.

Jiang Ziluo did not hide it either, "We are now in the mountains, and we don't have any weapons. Let's cut a few thicker branches, make them longer, and sharpen one end.

Keep it by your side at night for protection. Who knows what might be on this mountain?"

Jiang Hongyu listened and nodded, "Luo Luo is really thoughtful. I'll cut a few more later."

"Girl, how do you know so much?" Doctor Hu and other adults had never thought of this.

"I just felt that the mountains were always dangerous, but I didn't have anything to protect myself, so I thought of doing this myself."

After hearing this, Doctor Hu seemed to think there was nothing wrong. Could it be that he really hadn't thought of it?

Jiang Ziluo heaved a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Doctor Hu didn't ask any more questions."

Doctor Hu seemed to have forgotten that no one seemed to have thought of such a problem, but it was thought of by a ten-year-old child and put into action.

While they were talking, Jiang Hongyu had already found a suitable branch and started cutting it.

Jiang Ziluo and Doctor Hu picked up some small branches for firewood. Jiang Hongyu cut six branches that were as thick as arms and about 1.45 meters long. Then the three of them went down the mountain.

After they came down the mountain, the two families that stayed with them were Uncle Yang's family and Hu Zi's family, who were very close to the Jiang family.

The three families' masters watched Jiang Hongyu cut off so many thick branches, wondering what he was going to do? The branches were wet and could not be used to make fire.

How could a 14 or 15-year-old child not understand these things? Uncle Yang asked, "Hongyu, what are you doing? Why did you bring back so much wet firewood?"

Jiang Hongyu glanced at Jiang Ziluo, and Jiang Ziluo said, "Uncle Yang, my eldest brother wants to use these woods for self-defense at night."
